So on Monday of this week I went to Fern Ridge to do some bass fishing. I have never caught a fish of any sort at Fern Ridge, yet I love paddling the Coyote Creek channel there.

Well, I launched and set out as always. I tried swimbait, jerkbait, spinnerbait, and even a frog. The situation was the same...VERY enjoyable paddle, but no bites. I paddled out from the trees into the grass a ways. It was pretty windy, so I didn't want to get out in the unprotected water.

Eventually I decided to head back. On the way back I found a partially submerged grass point. I anchored up and decided to tie on a carolina rigged 6" watermelon Yamamoto worm and fished it. I casted just over it and reeled in very slowly with a couple twitches here and there to get the glass beads to click and clack.

Then my line tightened and wammo! I landed this 19" 4.5 pound (I used one of those spring scale/tape measure things) largemouth bass.

Nice fish!

WOW nice fish!! After garden is finished I get to christen my yak at Galesville Reservior here in So. OR.

Awesome Fish and video. I have never tried Bass Fishing, but it sure looks like fun!

Nice FB.  I'm a huge senko fan.  Watermelon is my favorite.

I love bass fishing. Kayaks are perfect because of their stealth and ability in thick grasses, lake weed and lilly pads. It's a blast! 

I would like to try myself on the coastal waters, just not in my sit-inside kayak. Soon enough. :0)

@MARVIN A
What are you going for in the reservoir? bass, trout, crappie, etc?

Bass and trout plus lots of area with standing dead trees and trolling areas both.

Good job FB, that's a beauty LMB!
